Ito na naman tayo sa Holding Hands, eh.

Kasi yung unang date namin, medyo pakipot muna.

Pero hinawakan niya agad yung kamay ko nun.

Tapos syempre, ako as a Gen Z,

nag-picture ako, tapos sininan ko sa friends ko.

Hi, my name is Sade Marine.

Hi, I'm Jemeth.

Hi, I am Daniel Julio Angeles and I go by Leo

and my relationship status is single.

Hi, I'm Eve Janine Valdez.

Hi, I'm Migs Cantre.

Hey, I'm Josh.

Hi, I'm Hale and we are boyfriend-girlfriend

slash besties for life.

He slid through my DMs.

Basically, nagkakilala lang kami through Reto.

So I was in the bar with a friend

that I recently caught up with at that time

and I was telling him,

you know man, I feel like I'm missing an aspect of life.

I could use some love.

And he said, you know what, Hale?

I might know someone.

And I'm like, oh, please do.

So I've been single for four years.

But honestly, it's been fun.

I have all the time to myself.

But there are some moments that, you know,

you would wish or you'd want someone to be there for you.

When it comes to relationships or, you know, love in general,

we should listen to our own heart.

Before I met Migs, I came from a breakup too.

But then when you get to vibe with a person,

it just clicks ahead.

One that's important is your intention.

Like your intentions are clear with someone.

And over the time,

it's just a pretty comfy yellow couch.

Today, you will be watching clips from Donbel's latest music video.

And we basically just need you guys to share your insights,

advices to guide our viewers in the natural stages

of shooting your shot or making your move.

So she's rushing to work.

Pag sa simula ng Love Story MV,

parang laging nagmamadali yung babaan.

Dapat nga, dapat busy ka.

Tapos doon mo mahanap yung love life mo.

Yeah.

When you least expect it eh, no?

Yeah.

Huwag mong isara. May dadahang pogi.

Oh, it's the cliche.

I met you at the elevator.

Nakarelate ako dito sa elevator scene kasi dati naka-dorm ako.

And may mga instances talaga na, you know, something happens.

And kayo lang dalawa.

Ayan, mga tinginan. Pag-press sa elevator. Nakakakilig.

Tapos kailangan laging magkasabay.

Laging merong chance.

Na maghahawa kayo ng kamay.

And of course, the fresh breath.

It's very important.

Medyo...

Best foot forward.

I don't necessarily believe in love at first sight.

But I do believe in ang gwapo first sight.

I was around Makati.

Going around, buying food.

And I wasn't able to see where I was going because I was busy carrying all of the stuff.

And I bumped into this really cute guy.

Oh my God.

Can't forget his face.

I don't know what to do.

Honestly, because I feel like sa Filipino culture kasi parang it's a bit weird to go up to them and be like,

Hey, I really like you.

Yeah, feeling ko siya si Bell sa love story namin.

Parang nasa kanya yung tension more.

Matagal lang kasi ako hindi nagda-date.

So, paano nga ba ulit to?

But I think I've learned my lesson from that time.

I have to be more proactive if I really want to see where it goes.

Same thing that Bell did.

Really eye contact.

As in, like, hey.

Parang...

Because I feel like if it's more than two seconds and nag-look back siya,

I feel like that's my cue already.

Hmm.

You know, like, those pa-mysterioso.

Like, oh, I'm just here.

Mind my own business.

Tulakin mo ko.

Tapos mag-bump kayo.

So, parang, quote-unquote, natural yung pag-bump niyo.

But not too obvious where it's like, I actually want you.

I actually like you.

I can't do that.

When I would have a rehearsal for a gig and I would practice on my own, I would let her watch.

Tsaka big thing talaga yung sa school, eh.

Kasi yun yung parang great chance namin para mag-meet.

Kasi magkalayo talaga kami.

Fairview, tapos antipolo.

Para elevator niya yung school.

Yes, exactly.

USD is the elevator.

Parang ako yung kinikilig para sa kanya.

I like how it just turned into like an indie film.

Huh?

Is that for real?

Ayan yung mga, ano, delusional moments.

Wala pang high-high, eh, na holding hands na kagal.

Alasana, all.

Joke.

Hindi ganyan sa totoong buhay.

They really have nice teeth, huh?

Close up, guys.

Oh, okay.

Ay, nadalulu lang siya. Okay.

Oh, she was dalulu.

I would relate kay Belle kasi, you know, may pagka-dalulu talaga yung mga generation namin ngayon.

It's normal too when you have someone you're interested in, especially romantically.

Actually, kapag nasa hallway, lagi akong tumatanaw.

Nagbabakasakali ako nga, baka nandun siya.

Uy, oh my God, you're here!

Aalokin niya ako mag-coffee or would I have dinners?

Like, I imagine like this whole life we have ahead of us.

Even if we just met for like five minutes or so.

One thing that I did imagine was you attending my cheer dance competition.

Kasi like, I don't really know the feeling of someone cheering for you genuinely.

When you're really attracted to somebody, you try to imagine scenarios that will make you feel good.

Na parang, no harm done. It's not like anyone got hurt.

You're just thinking of your crush, thinking of a cute bonding.

Personally, I feel like people daydream because it's sort of this thing that we use to cope with our everyday lives.

But then I always get struck with reality and it's just sad.

Kaya I feel like most of the time, kasi I'm quite impatient.

Yung makakatiis, feel ko, I'm just gonna talk to him.

It's not like desperate, but it's a way of living in this illusion that will eventually become reality.

So, it's okay.

I mean, people call it the lulu. I call it manifesting.

Comfortable pajamas.

Vigorous brushing.

Hygiene.

Very important.

Nag-toothbrush ka ba noon?

Hindi ka naman.

Parang late na rin ito kay Bell kasi nagko-practice din ako sa harap ng mirror.

Be honest, have you ever practiced?

No, I think you did, right?

Oh yeah, I did.

Like, how do I project myself?

I got the confidence boost when you meet someone like that.

Like, you make sure you're at your best.

Andun eh.

Hindi ko nga ako yun.

Tapos usog ako sa tabi niya.

Andun eh.

So, she's just waiting for boy wonder to arrive.

Ano ba ang innovator niya?

Stalin, yes.

Now, she's actually expecting him.

So close.

About to get in the elevator, but...

Breath check.

Diba kanina medyo...

Aligaga pa siya.

Ngayon, ano na siya, fresh.

Wait, eto na naman tayo sa holding hands eh.

Uy, ba't may ipaki?

My heart.

Oh, she's such a mood.

I really hate so hard.

Kiling, kilig.

I was like that, sometimes I'm like that.

Come on, don't call her that.

But, sobrang relate.

Like, the prepping, nagchecheck, kung parang...

Kasi baka makasalubong ko.

Yeah, syempre. Kasi, diba, let's not kid around.

Kailangan yung pagkatingin niya palang,

Yes, I like her. Ganon.

First time I met her, I went to the gym.

China looked pumped.

Mas nagiging kikay ka.

And for the retouch and everything.

Number one, I smell good.

Like, whether it's my cologne or my breath.

And, lagi akong may dala na toothbrush.

Toothpaste dito sa bag ko.

Kasi, you'll never really know, eh.

It's always the minute details that speak the loudest

and actively contribute to how people perceive your character.

Like, I really am fluffing myself up.

Because I wanna look in the mirror and siya parang,

I like that girl.

So, kapag nakaayos ka, parang hindi ka na super self-conscious

pagkaharap mo yung tao, eh.

It's a non-verbal first move.

Pagaya nung kay Don Bell sa commercial.

Sobrang lapit nila together.

And if you say even hi,

tapos pangit yung breath mo,

baka mas, you know, ma-push away yung crush.

Kahit super ganda or pogi,

pag nakita mo in person,

tapos may off sa kanila,

alam mo eh, siya parang magta-turn off ka rin.

Parang once pa lang naman siya nangyari.

Thank God!

In fairness, ano siya, ha? May face.

And he's more eno.

But then, like, when we're so near together,

parang I just can't.

I cannot.

I don't want to.

It's all about first impressions.

I mean, people, I think they forget that first impressions matter.

See you.

The drift.

Siya na yung nag-ayos ngayon.

Ako yan.

Ako yan.

Yeah!

Ito yun na ah.

Nagkita na sila.

I worry about her hand.

Risking her hand like that, it's okay.

If you're that daring.

I'm rooting for you, sis.

Bakit di tayo nagka-moment ng ganyan sa BG Pop?

Ang ganda na ng glow up kasi nung una,

parang haggard pa sila both.

Ngayon, parang prepared na sila to, you know.

Sinasabing nga ni Don.

Ay, it's us against the world ang atake pala.

Sigsigan sa elevator.

Di mag-holding hands, no?

Oh my God.

Ang cute.

Sana mangyari din sa akin.

May elevators naman ata sa bago kong school.

Sana oo. Giding.

Buti para sa kanya, naging okay.

Holding hands sa elevator lang si Kip.

Good job.

That's actually one of the things that leads up to

the defining moment, no?

If you want something and you actually get it,

you get it, right?

Kasi yung unang date namin, medyo pakipot muna.

Pero hinawakan niya agad yung kamay ko nun.

So, nagulat ako.

Kasi hindi ako sanay.

Hindi ako sanay na ganun ka-confident yung guy.

Kasi di ba usually yung guys nowadays,

minsan sila yung mas pa-bebe kaysa sa babae.

Girls and boys, take note.

I was the one who asked for us to be together.

So guys, shoot your shot.

Actually, factor din dun.

Yung parang nauubos na kami ng mapag-usapan.

So ako medyo panik na ako.

Wala, paano kaya to?

Sige na nga, I shoot my shot na lang.

Buti, gumawa na.

Tapos syempre, ako as a Gen Z,

nag-picture ako, tapos sinayon ko sa friends ko.

Yung mga relationships kasi can also happen

out of those experiences na sobrang out of the blue.

I genuinely believe that things will naturally happen.

But not all things.

Because blessings aren't just all like, you know,

I pray for this, I want this and that.

If you don't make a move, then it will not happen for you.

You plan out your steps, what you're going to do.

Like sabi nga ni Taylor Swift, you know, I'm a mastermind.

Find out about their interests.

I would go back to the most basic, which is sliding in their DMs.

It works, I swear it works.

Parang, oh, I like this series too.

Parang, aya ako din.

It doesn't hurt to be brave.

You push as much as you can para makuha mo talaga yung gusto mo.

For my case, it's you.

You really just need to be sure of what you want

so that you don't get lost in the dating scene.

My advice would be you have to first love yourself.

Look after how you feel internally because sometimes it ends up reflecting on the outside.

Kapag nakalimutan mong mag-toothbrush, bumalik ka sa bahay niyo.

Wala akong pakialam kung malayo ka na.

Again, love translates into a lot of things.

One of those things is being confident.

One of those things is actually shooting your shot.

Alright.

So that's it.

Thank you guys so much for everything.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.
